That was Japanese animation and thunder cats is from the US. I highly doubt it`s authenticity. The fact that you didn`t see a thunder cats logo other than one image which was ripped from the original cartoon. You never saw the logo on the sword.

@mischeif - The voice acting seems like it would be even worse than the original (which was awesomely awful), the thundercat call sounds horrible.

Second, the look of the series itself was amazingly gay. Now I`m not saying it sucks, no, I mean 80s leotards, leather S&M, and Broadway gay. Panthro was just a biker hat away from looking like Mr. Slave. Don`t get me wrong, it was an awesome show, but looking back, you can`t help but laugh and cringe.

I don`t know if they can change the appearance of the characters and their actions enough to make them not cringe-worthy, or if doing so would make them less identifiable and therefore kill the selling point.

This is one of those series where you`d either have to totally cheese it up and make fun of it, or make something that`s so much better than the original it would stand on its own without the brand, at which point the brand would probably bring it down.

<---- A fan since the Genesis of Thunder Cats ... (having boys gave me the excuse to watch religiously!) I would TOTALLY watch this .... Have to agree with kr0w669, it should be a CGI production vs a live one...

@jinxiejae DAAAAAAMN!!!YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU! why OH WHYYYYYYYYYYYY! did you have to remind me that they were making a live action bebop movie god help us god JESUS? SATAN?. . . OPRAH!?! damnit i`m just going to cower in the corner a little bit. damn hollywood thinking because transformers did all right that every other pooty live action remake will do the same.

I try not to get worked up about these things anymore. I`m not angry that Hollywood is systematically ruining every favorite show from my childhood. I`ve learned that you either have to ignore Hollywood and watch movies from the past, or just watch indy films, because that`s the only two places you`ll find good film making.

Seriously, has anything in the 2000`s come close to a John Hughes film? Or Dod Sno, Clerks, or Men with Brooms?

Eh, I`m pretty much use to Hollywood raping some of my beloved childhood memories; but then again, the whole reason Thunder Cats was created in the first place was to market off to a gullible generation. Hollywood just isn`t clever enough to come up with anything original, so they rely on reviving past successes to market off of a whole new gullible generation.

DAMNIT.. Ok time for a rant. Lionel doesn`t have short hair for one,and he wouldn`t be banging his sword on a rock like an idiot no matter how young he really is.You know whats really messed up? This thing IS probably real.Oh yeah,his outfit is wrong and lame as hell too.and so is his personality.Why do they keep doing this? I had enough of this crap with "Transformers the movie"
